Surgery Grand Rounds, Pleural Fluid Seminar, PBL, and Clinical Skills by CCLCM Student .. Medical Student

Posted Thu 23 Oct 2008 2:04pm I think that today was my longest day yet, but overall it went well. I actually got here at 6:30 AM so that I could go to a Surgery Grand Rounds talk before class. That was a bit painful, but once I was up and awake, it was definitely worth going to it. The good part is that we got breakfast. Surprisingly, the auditorium was pretty full even at t ... Read on »

Lipoprotein Seminar, PBL, and Clinical Skills by CCLCM Student .. Medical Student

Posted Thu 23 Oct 2008 2:04pm I was really dragging today, and I have to confess that I was basically counting down the time until I'd be able to go home. I'm just happier than I can say that I have tomorrow off and I can finally get some sleep. This morning, we had a lipoprotein seminar. It was pretty research-intensive and covered some material that the seminar leader thoug ... Read on »

Respiratory Simulator, PBL, and Clinical Skills by CCLCM Student .. Medical Student

Posted Thu 23 Oct 2008 2:04pm Today was a really long day since we had clinical skills in the afternoon. We started out in the respiratory simulator lab, which is used to train anesthesiologists. Basically they have a dummy that can mimic a patient who is being put to sleep, given drugs, intubated, and other anesthesiological procedures. I had seen dummies like these when I v ... Read on »

Muscle Prep Lab, PBL, and First Clinical Skills Session by CCLCM Student .. Medical Student

Posted Thu 23 Oct 2008 2:04pm Today we started out by going to a cardiac muscle physiology lab. The lab personnel had set up several stations for us to learn about various aspects of muscle cell contraction, and they also showed us how they conduct the heart muscle cell contraction experiments. It's pretty barbaric, actually. Basically they use the heart muscle cells out o ... Read on »

Pharmacology, PBL, and Last Clinical Skills by CCLCM Student .. Medical Student

Posted Thu 23 Oct 2008 2:04pm Our pharm seminar was awesome today. Pharm seminars tend to be relatively unpopular, and we definitely have had our share of dry ones. But today's seminar leader did a really great job. We were originally supposed to be divided into two groups, but the other PharmD who was going to be helping got sick. So we went up to the library classroom inste ... Read on »

Pharmacology, PBL, and Clinical Skills by CCLCM Student .. Medical Student

Posted Thu 23 Oct 2008 2:04pm We started out with a double pharm seminar this morning. You have to understand that I really, truly, honestly do love pharm. It's my favorite medical science, no question. I read pharm books on my own sometimes just because I'm interested in learning more about it. I even like pharm better than anatomy, and I know I've gone on and on about how m ... Read on »

Neurophysiology, PBL, and Clinical Skills by CCLCM Student .. Medical Student

Posted Thu 23 Oct 2008 2:04pm Dr. Najm was leading our neurophysiology seminar today. I really like him. He gets so excited about anything to do with the brain, and his seminars are always fun. He's one of the directors of our basic science curriculum. The first part of the seminar was pretty basic and a review about ion channels and action potentials. But in the second part, ... Read on »
